Today, I turn thirty-four years old.
I was born on this day, in Dallas Texas.
Being alive for this long, I arrive at a few key lessons learned along the way.
They are:
- Be stubborn with your purpose
- Take calculated risks
- Embrace boredom
- Don’t pick sides (be in the middle)
- Learn to sit with two opposing truths
- Find mentor(s)
- Try not to use divisive language
- Embrace solitude
- Give back
- Be a bit reckless occasionally
- Listen more than you talk
- Teach
- Don’t strive to always make sense
- Move around (whatever that means)
- Speak up
